Shouldyou learn

Portuguese?Of course you should!

It is the 6th most spoken language on

the planet, with 215+ native speakers.

If that doesn’t sound thrilling, Portugal

itself will prove you wrong. Any Latin

language you might already know will

help learning Portuguese a lot faster

since lots of words are pretty similar.

We are not saying it is easy, but it sure

will be fun. The Portuguese also tend to

know good English. So, even if you’re

having a tough time with the language,

you’ll manage.
